John Groenewald Poet Lyric

Rest easily

Verse 1
My time passes by as the seconds
tick away 
I page through the book of life 
Pages of happiness 
Pages of bitterness 
Pages all through my life 
 
Chorus 1

Hold me close 
Hold me tight 
Hold me through the lonely night 
Give me peace 
Give me harmony 
Allow me to rest easily 
 
Verse 2

The story of my life can be seen through the book 
Hundreds of pages to be read 
Stories of achievements 
Stories of failures 
Stories gained through my life 
 
Chorus2

You’ve held me close 
You’ve held me tight 
You’ve held me through the lonely night
You gave me peace
You gave me harmony 
You allowed me to rest easily 

Verse 3
 
We all got to die its just a matter of time 
How we will go no one knows 
So be proud of what you’ve done in life 
Be proud of who you are 
Who you are 

 Chorus 3

Hold me close 
You’ve held me closer 
Held tightly through my loneliest night
Giver of peace 
Bringer of harmony 
Now please allow me to rest easily 
 
Chorus

Hold me close 
Hold me tight 
Hold me through the lonely night 
Give me peace 
Give me harmony 
Allow me to rest 
To rest easily
